Modular Labeling System

Abstract

The invention relates to a modular labeling system for use in and around an operating room of a hospital. The labeling system comprises at least one sheet of labels, each label configured to be affixed to a container containing a solution. Each sheet of labels comprises a plurality of primary labels and a plurality of secondary labels. The primary labels are pre-printed with names of frequently used solutions. The secondary labels are pre-printed with names of other solutions, which can be used in conjunction with or in lieu of the frequently used solutions.

1 . A modular labeling system for use in and around an operating room of a hospital, the labeling system comprising: 
 at least one sheet of labels, comprising: 
 a plurality of primary labels removably attached to the at least one sheet of labels, wherein the primary labels are pre-printed with a first set of data; and  
 a plurality of secondary labels removably attached to the at least one sheet of labels, wherein the secondary labels are pre-printed with a second set of data;  
   wherein each label is configured to be affixed to a container which is configured to contain a solution.    
   
   
       2 . The labeling system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second set of data is pertinent to a specific area of use within the operating room.  
   
   
       3 . The labeling system of  claim 2 , wherein the area of use comprises a pre-op area of the operating room.  
   
   
       4 . The labeling system of  claim 2 , wherein the area of use comprises a recovery area of the operating room.  
   
   
       5 . The labeling system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second set of data is pertinent to a specific area of practice within the operating room.  
   
   
       6 . The labeling system of  claim 5 , wherein the area of practice comprises Orthopedics.  
   
   
       7 . The labeling system of  claim 5 , wherein the area of practice comprises Gynecology.  
   
   
       8 . The labeling system of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of data comprises names of frequently used solutions.  
   
   
       9 . The labeling system of  claim 8 , wherein the first set of data comprises at least one of each frequently used solution.  
   
   
       10 . The labeling system of  claim 8 , wherein at least one of the plurality of primary labels is configured to enable a user to write a solution concentration of the frequently used solution on or adjacent the primary label.  
   
   
       11 . The labeling system of  claim 8 , wherein the second set of data comprises the names of solutions which may be used with or in lieu of the frequently used solutions.  
   
   
       12 . The labeling system of  claim 1 , wherein the secondary labels are smaller than the primary labels.  
   
   
       13 . The labeling system of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of blank labels removably attached to the at least one sheet of labels.  
   
   
       14 . The labeling system of  claim 13 , wherein the blank labels are configured to enable a user to write information regarding the solution on the blank labels.  
   
   
       15 . The labeling system of  claim 1 , further comprising a mini marker comprising non-erasable ink.  
   
   
       16 . The labeling system of  claim 15 , wherein the ink is ASTM D4236 conforming.  
   
   
       17 . The labeling system of  claim 2 , wherein the sheet of labels is color coded to indicate the area of use.  
   
   
       18 . The labeling system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one sheet of labels is sterile.
